A lot of Liverpool's Victorian terraces, particularly across Wavertree and parts of Toxteth, had bathrooms retrofitted into a former bedroom well after the house was originally built - which explains why so many are an awkward shape relative to the rest of the property, and why layout is often as much a factor in cost as the finish.
What causes the surprises
Original lath-and-plaster ceilings below a retrofitted bathroom slow down pipework installation, and older cast iron soil stacks - still common in unmodernised terraces - occasionally need replacing as part of a refit even where that wasn't the original brief. Georgian Quarter townhouses can add another layer: original features protected by listed status sometimes limit exactly where new pipework can run.
Getting comparable quotes
Ask each builder to quote against the same fixed spec sheet rather than a general description - Liverpool's mix of Georgian, Victorian and post-war housing varies enough that a loosely-specified "full refit" quote can mean genuinely different jobs.
